Christ goes with you.

[Fragrant Grace]

Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
John 15:4

Regardless of where you are, Christ is there.
When you are atop the mountain praising God and walking in the warmth of His love, He is there. When you are walking through the valley of the shadows, He is there.
You may be saying, yes, I know that, but one thing or another has stolen your joy or your peace.
And yet, the joy and peace you need is not yours but that which resides in Christ.
Do we fully understand what it means to say that Christ is there, whether good times or bad?
The hard truth may be that you will come down from mountaintop experiences, but the wonderful truth of God is that, no matter where you are, you can remain in Christ.
No matter how dark the valley seems, the light of Christ can be with you.
You can draw near to the warmth of His light, draw near to Him, and draw from His perfect peace, and endless joy.
Seek Him out and draw near to Him. Learn from Him what it means to remain in Him.
Spend adequate time with Him each day, and you will have all that you need*

I know he helps me even though right now I don't know how to make it through the challenges. I know that I can just take each moment with Him. But people don't like that answer when they are depending on ya!
